Description:
This project would include the resurfacing of streets and making a 4 ft bicycle lane on either side of the streets.
Importance:
MoDOT just recently extended the shoulders on Hwy 136 to allow for bicyclist to make a safer trip out to Mozingo Lake. This project would extend the ride time for bicyclist, as it would connect to the new shoulders of Hwy 71. This project would also connect to Beal Park, which hosts many softball, baseball, volleyball, tennis and swimming activities in the summer. Also, walking or bicycling on Depot Street is very much unsafe and dangerous for both pedestrians and vehicular traffic.
